JUMP  IN  THE  WATER  NOTHING  ELSE  WILL  DO 


ILLUSIONS  OF  LOVE 


(S.  Moos) 

It’s  a  world  of  wonder  now 
Everyone  is  getting  fooled  somehow 
Everyday  we  scrape  and  we  bow 
To  an  illusion  of  love 
It’s  as  plain  as  the  morning  star 
I  can  see  you  for  what  you  are 
I’m  up  too  close  and  I’m  back  too  far 
From  my  illusion  of  love 

I’m  talking  ’bout  illusions  of  love 
Talking  ’bout  illusions  of  love 
Sometimes  it’s  confusing  me  my  love 

When  I  met  you  I  had  no  shirt  on  my  back 
We  had  a  lot  of  luggage  and  no  place  to  unpack 
All  that  we  really  owned  was  in  fact 
An  illusion  of  love 

We  used  to  walk  down  the  old  north  shore 
We  came  to  a  spot  where  we  couldn’t  walk  anymore 
It’s  hard  to  believe  all  that  kissing  was  for 
An  illusion  of  love 

Chorus:  Illusions  Of  Love... 

It’s  done  with  mirrors  and  camouflage 
Tenderness  that  is  just  a  mirage 
Go  and  tell  your  friends  in  your  entourage 
They  are  illusions  of  love 

Chorus 

(SAILIN' ON)  MOONBEAMS 

(S.  Moos,  K.  Forsyth,  W.  Weaver) 

When  I  was  young  I  thought  to  fall  in  love 
A  wonderful  thing  to  do 
Until  I  met  someone  and  fell  in  love 
Who  left  me  black  and  left  me  blue 
But  you  can’t  crawl  over  the  garden  wall 
Without  finding  your  downfall 

But  I’m  sailing  on  moonbeams  now,  boys 
Sailin’  on  moonbeams  now 
The  girls  don’t  mean  a  thing  anyhow 
I’m  sailin’  on  moonbeams  now 

When  I  was  young  I  thought  to  take  a  drink 
A  wonderful  thing  to  do 
And  when  the  bottle  came  I  took  a  sip 
In  fact  I  took  a  few 
And  rum  has  been  my  nemesis 
From  the  minute  of  our  first  kiss 

Chorus:  But  I’m  Sailin’... 


I  put  the  pistol  up  beside  my  head 
And  let  the  bullet  fly 
Our  little  story  has  come  to  an  end 
And  really  we  must  say  goodbye 
You  can’t  crawl  over  the  garden  wall 
Without  finding  your  downfall 

Chorus 

YOU  MADE  A  VOW 

(S.  Moos,  K.  Forsyth,  D.  Starns,  W.  Weaver) 

I  went  down  to  my  darling’s  house  in  the  time  of  early  winter 
I  was  halfway  out  the  door 

I  was  halfway  out  the  door,  I  was  halfway  out  the  door 
I  was  halfway  out,  locks  and  bolts  couldn’t  stop  me  now 

I  went  down  to  my  darling’s  house  when  I  heard  she’d  gone 
down  the  river, 

And  she’s  halfway  out  from  shore 

She  is  halfway  out  from  shore,  she  is  halfway  out  from  shore 
She  is  halfway  out,  locks  and  bolts  couldn't  stop  her  now 

I  move  on  in  and  move  on  out,  I  see  that  girl  start  to  shout 
I  see  her  face  and  see  her,  she’s  got  moonlight  tangled  in  her  hair 
I  call  her  up  and  she  calls  me  down,  she  says  I  remind  her  of 
another  town 

Of  another  town,  of  another  frown,  so  I  say  honey,  honey  child 

You  made  a  vow,  you  made  a  vow,  you  made  a  vow 
Locks  and  bolts  shouldn’t  stop  you  now 

I  went  down  to  my  darling’s  house,  time  of  early  winter 

And  things  were  just  like  before 

They  were  just  like  before,  just  like  before 

We  are  halfway  out,  locks  and  bolts  couldn’t  stop  us  now 

Jump  in  the  river,  jump  in  it  now,  jump  in  the  water 
You  made  a  vow,  jump  in  the  river,  jump  in  it  now 
You  made  a  promise,  then  the  rains  came  down,  rains  came  down 


I  thought  I  heard  my  captain  say 
The  bell  I  ring  you  must  obey 

Take  me  to  the  junkyard  now 
Faster  than  the  law  allows 
I  can’t  move  anymore  I  can't  roll  anyhow 
Better  take  me  to  the  junkyard  now 


Whiskey  made  me  pawn  my  clothes 
Whiskey  gave  me  my  big  red  nose 

Chorus:  Take  Me... 

Whiskey  killed  my  brother  Tom  (Whiskey  Johnny) 

I  drink  whiskey  all  day  long  (Whiskey  for  my  lad) 

Down  the  road  come  a  junko  partner 
He’s  as  loaded  as  can  be 
He  is  knocked  out,  knocked  out  loaded 
See  him  wobble  all  over  the  street 

"Give  me  whiskey  if  I  get  thirsty,  that’s  a  good  drink  if  you’re  dry, 
Give  me  water  if  I’m  dirty,  but  give  me  heroin,  before  I  die” 

Chorus 


MUSTA  HAD  SOME  REASON 

(S.  Moos) 

I  packed  my  bags  and  flew  to  Spain 
And  the  plane  took  off  in  a  warm  red  rain 
I  don’t  know  why  I  did  that  but 
I  musta  had  some  reason  that  I  forgot 

I  met  a  girl  who  said  to  me 
We’re  playing  with  love  so  casually 
I  don’t  know  why  we  do  that  but 
We  musta  had  some  reason  that  we  forgot 

Must  had  some  reason  for  the  things  we  done 
Though  I  keep  on  searching  I  can’t  find  one 
When  we  got  all  tangled  in  a  lover’s  knot 
Musta  had  some  reason  that  we  forgot 

We  met  by  luck  and  loved  by  chance 
We  parted  through  pure  circumstance 
I  don’t  know  why  it  happened  that  way  but 
We  musta  had  some  reason  that  we  forgot 

Musta  had  some  reason  for  the  things  we  done 
Though  I  keep  on  searching  I  can’t  find  one 
Then  things  got  so  tangled  and  we  felt  so  strangled 
And  we  both  got  caught 
Musta  had  some  reason  that  we  forgot 

God  made  the  world  in  seven  days 
And  he  trimmed  the  sky  and  he  curled  the  waves 
And  I  don’t  know  why  he  did  that  but 
Musta  had  some  reason  that  we  forgot 

1  packed  my  bags  and  flew  from  Spain 
And  the  plane  set  down  in  a  warm  red  rain 
And  I  told  myself  as  we  hit  ground 
Musta  lost  some  reason  I  thought  I  found 


WHISKEY  JOHNNY 

(S.  Moos,  K.  Forsyth,  D.  Starns,  W.  Weaver) 


NICKELS 


AND  DIMES 

(S.  Moos,  P.  Anderson) 

Remember  back  when  we  couldn't  pay  the  rent 
You  didn’t  care  that  the  money  was  spent 
We  through  a  party-didn’t  have  a  cent 
When  the  landlord  knocked  we  said 

We’re  having  good  times  on  nickels  and  dimes 
That’s  the  way  this  love’s  designed 
I’m  so  glad  that  your  love  is  mine 
Having  good  times  on  nickels  and  dimes 

You  got  nervous  when  the  baby  came 
I  said  honey  things  are  stilt  the  same 
We’ll  just  split  the  love  three  ways 
And  if  the  bank  complains 

Chorus:  We’re  Having  Good  Times... 

So  if  the  wolf  knocks  on  our  door 
And  the  stocks  fall  through  the  floor 
Everything  is  gonna  work  out  fine 
Having  good  times  on  nickels  and  dimes 

Chorus 

NOTHING  ELSE  WILL  DO 

(S.  Moos,  F.  Moos) 

I  was  nine  years  old 
When  we  moved  uptown 
Didn't  know  my  soul 
From  hole  in  the  ground 
Till  I  switched  on  the  radio 
And  brother  Ray  came  sailin’  thru 
He’s  got  the  spirit  I  got  to  hear  it 
And  nothing  else  will  do 

Sixteen  years  old 

When  my  love  came  down 

Didn’t  know  about  love 

From  a  hole  in  the  ground 

Till  she  said  wake  up  angel 

Got  something  to  tell  you 

You  got  to  heal  it  and  I’ve  got  to  feel  it 

What  about  the  nights  spent  alone  and 
the  friends  that 
You’ve  known 
A  minute  an  hour  a  day 
Till  the  time  pass  so  slow 
That  before  it  you  know 
Your  whole  life  has  passed  away 


When  I’m  old  and  gray 
And  running  short  of  breath 
I’ll  say  goodbye  living 
Hello  death 

Then  I’ll  say,  wake  up  angels 
It’s  brother  Steve  sailin’  thru 
He  wants  to  go  up,  up,  up 
And  nothing  else  will  do 

CONSIDER  THIS,  SENORA 

(S.  Moos) 

Ragged  as  a  ghost 

My  steps  have  led  me  down  a  path  by  the  shore 
And  with  no  hope  at  all 
I  come  and  call  on  you 

I  walked  a  lonely  mile  when  the  moon  was  low 
So  though  you  may  be  wary,  please  don’t  climb  the  stairs 
You  try  so  not  to  smile  when  you  tell  me  no 
But  look  at  us  a  moment  before  you  climb  the  stairs 

I’m  neither  rich  nor  handsome,  and  I  am  sure  you  planned  some 
Other  kind  of  love  affair 

The  breezes  speak  to  you  bow,  they  till  us  what  to  do 
Do  they  not  whisper  in  the  air 

Consider  this  Senora 
Time  is  not  our  friend 
Consider  this  Senora 
On  that  we  may  depend 
Consider  this,  Senora 

You  should  never  resist  a  sad  guitar  ».  t 

I  play  the  song  I  know  and  soon  I  will  be  gone  IN 

I  travelled  in  a  mist  to  be  where  you  a'-e 
Consider  this,  Senora  before  we  travel  on 

The  breezes  speak  to  me-they  tell  me  what  will  be 
Do  they  not  whisper 

Consider  this,  Senora 

There’s  a  place  I  know  down  where  the  woodbines  grow 
I  got  a  washboard,  you  got  a  tub 
You  and  me,  we  should  really  rub  rub  rub 
Consider  this,  Senora 

When  the  moon  comes  sneakin’  behind  a  cloud 
With  no  hope  at  all  I  come  and  call  on  you 


SAINT  THERESA 


(S.  Moos) 

Have  you  come  down  from  Avilla 
To  this  cell  where  I  am  kept 
Always  where  I  do  not  need  you 
Kneeling  where  the  beggar  slept 

|’ve  been  working  on  the  Delta  day  and  night  I’ve  towed  the  line 
But  every  time  I  see  your  face  I  get  in  trouble 

I  have  watched  you  from  the  window 
Waiting  just  to  take  me  in 
Would  you  bite  me  like  a  serpent 
To  suck  the  sickness  from  my  skin 


Did  you  ever  play  a  losing  hand? 

In  a  gin  house  poker  game 
I  thought  I  heard  the  joker  laugh 

It  was  a  relief  while  I  was  winning  but  I  was  richer  when  I 
came 

Chorus 

I’ll  sing  you  this  verse  and  leave  me  alone 
Don’t  call  me  up  on  the  heartbreak  telephone 
What  do  I  care  who  you  gone  to  bed  with 
Why  don’t  you  get  a  rock  to  bust  my  head  with 

Chorus 


I’ve  been  working  on  the  Delta  day  and  night  I  do  just  fine 
But  every  time  I  see  your  face  I  get  in  trouble 
Have  mercy  I’m  sliding  down  the  Delta  St.  Theresa  doing  just  fine 
But  every  time  I  see  your  face  I  get  in  trouble 

I’ll  throw  stones  in  the  church  house 
I’ll  hurl  curses  at  the  sun 
I’ll  make  a  fire  in  the  town 
I'll  laugh  and  sing  in  the  church  house 

I  will  pray  into  the  night  until  the  come  and  tear  your  statue  down 

Do  I  haunt  you  like  a  phantom 
Sister  do  I  tear  your  heart 

You  did  not  invent  misfortune,  you  just  raised  it  to  an  art 

I’ve  been  working  on  the  Delta  Day  and  night  I’ve  towed  the  line 
But  every  time  I  see  your  face... 

Have  mercy  I’m  sliding  down  the  Delta,  Theresa  doing  just  fine 
But  every  time  I  see  your  face  I  get  in  trouble 

ONE  MORE  ROLL  OF  THE  DICE 

(S.  Moos) 


NO  LAUGHING  MATTER 

(S.  Moos,  J.  Cregan) 

Love  is  the  lie  you  whispered  in  my  ear 

I  didn’t  try,  but  I  could  not  help  but  overhear 

Now  I  hear  whispers  in  the  street — you  cheat 

I  am  bewildered  by  deceit 

For  in  your  voice  I  have  heard 

The  lines  of  love  get  beautifully  blurred 

And  it’s  no  laughing  matter,  no  laughing  matter 
You  smile  too  easily 

And  it’s  no  laughing  matter,  no  laughing  matter  to  me 

This  is  the  life  that  I  never  thought  I’d  lead 

But  nothing  with  you  was  ever  close  to  guaranteed 

I  always  took  you  at  your  best-hard  pressed 

But  as  I  watch  you  get  undressed 

You  turn  from  me,  as  if  to  show 

The  time  has  come  for  letting  me  go 

Chorus:  And  It’s  No  Laughing  Matter... 


Did  you  ever  see  a  poor  man  dance? 

It’s  worse  than  living  and  hurts  more  than  dying 
Did  you  ever  see  a  poor  man  dance? 

They  tend  to  give  it  all  they  got  it’s  the  only  thing  that  they  have 

Did  you  ever  feel  kind  of  wild  and  wooley 
Your  world’s  on  a  string  but  where’s  the  pulley 
Then  you  have  trouble  concentrating 
The  deal  is  down  and  your  partner  is  waiting 

One  more  roll  of  the  dice 

Deal  me  just  one  more  hand 

I'm  free  wide  and  single  and  going  down  the  river 

That’s  all  I  understand 


If  I  had  known  you  cared  this  much 
I’d  found  a  way  to  let  you  know 
You  couldn’t  live  without  me  if  you  tried 
I’m  scared  that  when  the  lights  come  on 
I’ll  be  left  here  all  alone 
Watching  as  the  sun  and  moon  collide 
But  now  it’s  dark,  but  I  still  see 
Love’s  gonna  have  the  last  laugh  on  me
